Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Draw a simple muscular male figure outline on paper for reference.
2. Take a chunk of air-dry clay and roughly shape the torso and limbs, focusing on muscular definition.
3. Use sculpting tools or household items to refine muscles and details like abs, biceps, and chest.
4. Smooth the surface with water and your fingers.
5. Create a small, separate piece of clay for the head and attach it securely.
6. Let the sculpture dry completely according to the clay instructions (usually 24 hours).
7. Once dry, lightly sand any rough areas for a smooth finish.
8. Paint the figurine with skin tones; add shadows and highlights to emphasize muscles.
9. Cut a small piece of fabric to act as underwear and glue it onto the figurine.
10. Add any final paint details if needed and let dry.
11. Optionally, apply a clear sealant for protection.
